To the person who is more than my bestfriend

I guess it was two years ago when most of our thoughts was to leave the outskirt of this small town and journey through the big cities. Two years ago our worries were not about how to survive the five units psych stat nor the "umala-major" ge's. Our concerns were not the cuatro, cinco, or the incomplete the professors could give or should I say, us, students could get. Two years ago, most questions that were circling our mind was "where will I spend another four years for college?" and most importantly "what degree program will I take?". Well, that was the time where we think a lot about where we are right now.


Well, I remember two years ago, Blanche and I were walking along the side walk and just trolling around the city and those questions came up. I don't really remember who asked first or who brought up the topic but I remember clearly what she said about the degree program she'll take. She said she wanted to take up psychology as her major. Well, I was surprise and blank? Well, blank because I don't even know what psychology is really all about and I am not aware of its domain. I know shame on me. But as she talked about it I could see how her eyes sparkles, how excited she is, how she looked forward to it and how eager she is to journey through the challenging and formidable front of psychology. There and then, I saw how beautiful she is. Well, Blanche is a natural beauty yet she glow more when she talked about the things she love. That was one of those moment. Well, you might be wondering why I recalled that exact moment, here's the thing guys because of that conversation I had with my best friend, because of her I became curious about Psychology itself and here I am also enjoying, struggling and starting to love psychology. Yes, like her I am also taking up Psychology and is also having those late night getting to know Sigmund Freud.


Sis, you are a beautiful soul inside and out and I believe all present tonight can attest to that. You are beautiful like a brilliant diamond that changes its gleam with the touch of light in every different angle. You are for keep and I am thankful for the universe conspiracy that lead me to you and spent years of my life with you. Well, we've know each other for more than half of our lives yet sis, I really don't know you fully and to be honest, I don't want to. I don't want to because sis, for me you are timeless and imperishable prose that shouldn't be hastily perude its finis. You are a continuing poetry, a ceaseless one and by saying that I entirely know you, I feel like I'm putting an end to a sublime story, I feel like I am looking, reading ahead and I don't have the heart for that nor even the strength. I will be here willingly and patiently be waiting for your story's unfolding. Sis, I treasure you and I treasure our friendship. This friendship is something I wouldn't trade for anything. And you, YOU are someone I will never regret knowing. I will always embrace you; the YOU transcending even all your self-acknowledged flaws. And sis, I am here. I am always here so, whatever whatnots life may hurl, I will always be here.


Happy Eighteen! I love you. Always.

P.s this was supposed to be my speech but I wasn't able to deliver it. I know it's too late but I just thought I'll give it to you, sis. I meant every word. I miss you. x
